NADIA'S POV

Having lunch with Luciano felt like a century, as I tried to finish my food quietly and pretend to not notice his stares on me. But the tense silence was almost suffocating, as I could feel his gaze, heavy, serious, as if studying my every movement.

I glanced up and accidentally met his Intense gaze, my heart skipped and instantly averted my gaze, embarrassed.

“What's going on in your mind?” He suddenly asked, his voice calm, almost detached.

I looked up at him again, trying to hold his gaze this time, but the weight of his attention felt too much, and I looked down collecting my thoughts. “I’m tired of staying in the door, every passing day.” I finally said, my voice soft.

I was about to say another thing but trailed off, realizing how vulnerable I must have sounded. I risked another glance at him, his expression darkened, as though the words hit deeper than I'd expected. I didn't dare to look up again, as he sat quietly, his face unreadable.

After a moment he spoke, his

    AUTHORMia stormed off Luciano's house, with tears brimming in her eyes, and her chest twisting in pain. She'd slept with him last night, thinking things would become less awkward and easier for them, but it seemed like his disgust for her only increased, and yet she couldn't find it in her heart to dislike him.“Don't be a cry baby, Mia. We both know he's just acting big. Take this.” Damon said, handing a handkerchief to her.Mia seemed to calm down after a while, then she frowned, recalling Nadia’s face that she saw in Luciano's house.“Damon,”Damon turned to look at her, swirling the glass in hand. “What?”“I saw someone in Luciano's house and I think she's living with him. I'm confused.”Damon's interest was solely piqued, he placed the wine on his desk and leaned closer to Mia. “She?”“Yes, it's a girl. She just looks familiar.”“Luciano is now keeping women in his house? I'm so interested in this topic, I can't imagine Luciano bringing in a girl, with a pussy between her thighs

    AUTHOR“You won't take this off, no matter what?” He warned, his tone dead serious.“And why is that?” “You won't want to know. Just do what you're told.”Nadia nodded and moved away from him, as if running away from a predator, as his gaze on her grew heated. The smirk on his grew wider and got up, about to leave but paused before he could get to the door. “I'd be away for some days, call me if you miss me or need anything.” he said, and with one last glance, he exited the room.Nadia reached her hand to the necklace, catching the pendant between her fingers. She instinctively got up from the bed and went to stand In front of the mirror stand, admiring the tiny beautiful necklace. A necklace to justify his misdeed? She thought, frowning slightly. Only if she knew the truth behind it.*****Damon kept his plan to meet Nadia at bay, since he had more pressing matters to attend to, outside the country. He had deceived and lied to Mia, using her feelings for Luciano, only to use her t

    AUTHORTime slipped by quickly, with weeks blending into a haze. Nadia was growing accustomed to the light workload Jeff handed her—primarily backing up files, arranging business meetings, and noting down key points from business proposals. Luciano had deliberately kept her away from any files tied to his darker dealings, ensuring Jeff only gave her minimal and non-sensitive tasks.Yet, Nadia had begun avoiding him ever since she received a cryptic message from an unknown number. Luciano noticed her change in behavior almost immediately. She avoided his gaze, flinched when he spoke to her, stepped back whenever he approached, and stuttered through her replies. At first, he brushed it off, but the fear in her eyes gnawed at him.For a man like Luciano, who thrived on the power his presence commanded and relished the fear he instilled in others, Nadia's reaction should have satisfied him. Instead, it infuriated him. It wasn’t fear born of respect or awe—it felt like rejection. And for r

    NADIAMy fear for Luciano increased after what happened earlier today. Just because the girl had tried to go against him, he set her up, not with any other person but a gigolo, and now she's pregnant. No, that was way too extreme. Yet I couldn't sit well with the thought of him being the father of the child. I had searched through the internet, trying to know more about Black Death and why he was called that, but I can't seem to find the exact information I was looking for. Who had I gotten myself entangled with?Yeah, he hadn't done anything to hurt me or try to hurt me, in fact he's truly protecting me, just like he had promised. But that can't guarantee he wouldn't try to, in the future. I wasn't sure if he was helping me or wanted something from me, but now, I am sure. I'm sure, he must have a reason for approaching me, just what could it be?From what I heard earlier, he has a brother, but they seem not to be on good terms. Just, who was this man exactly? No one visits him, has h

    NADIAWhen I woke up the next morning, Luciano was already gone. Hatred and anger gnawed at me, as I could still remember what happened last night. I went for a quick wash, and returned to the room. It wasn't long before Layla came, her face was all smiles, making me wonder what she had to say.“Good morning, Layla. You seem happy, hmm?” “Yeah, I never thought Mr. Luciano would agree to my little request, but he did.” Her smile grew wider.“Ohh really? What request?” I asked, eyeing her expression. “I requested to take a leave for a month or two.”“A leave? Is everything okay?” “Yeah, but not really.” Her smile slowly faded, I frowned and moved closer to her.“What happened?”“My son got into an accident, the doctor said it isn't serious, but I have a feeling it is.”I felt bad for her, Layla is a nice woman, and her sweet smile shouldn't ever leave her lips, it is welcoming and contagious.“I'm sorry about that. Don't think too much about it, he'll be fine.” I smiled cheekily.Sh

    NADIAThe atmosphere in the car was suffocating, almost unbreakable, with Luciano's features dark and unreadable. He was still holding my wrist, but not as tight as before, i stole several glances at him, but he didn't return any of it.With my heart thumping and pounding hard, I wondered what had gone wrong. “Luciano..” I called, my voice barely a whisper, as I glanced at him.“Shhh, kept it shut. I didn't ask you to say anything.” He cut me off coldly, not even glancing at me.I swallowed the lump forming in my chest and looked away.Immediately the car was pulled to a halt, Luciano's grip around my wrist tightened and he pulled me out of the car, dragging me inside the house. I'm certain a bruise is forming on my wrist, tears welled in my eyes, but I fought them back, as the pain was becoming unbearable. He pulled me into the living room and paused in his steps, finally releasing my wrist. With tears brimming in my eyes and blurring my vision, I raised my face to look at him. “Luc

    DAMON After finding out that Luciano had tricked Mia and I, he saw through my plan. My next agenda was to meet the late Emperors' doppelganger, the one rumored to be staying with him. It would be fun. Luciano was sorely protecting her, making it difficult to get to her, and that only piqued my interest. If Luciano is protecting her that much, then she really must be important and have more to her. I had some men, camp close to his estate, to feed me information about him and to inform me, once the girl was out. I'm really going to make Luciano pay, not just for the money I lost, even for my men, who are now dead. And that girl seemed to be my bait on him. It was my lucky day, when I got to meet with the doppelganger, and all I can say and think is that I'm going to take her for myself. Looking at her alone felt like I was looking at that asshole Emperor, and the thoughts of making her suffer was extreme. While I thought about how to adopt her, my father's footsteps echoed in

    DAMON Sophia had left in a fit of rage, after our argument, but my decision remains resolute. She could've said that to Luciano before he took her.The club was now filled, and these sluts stared hungrily at me, while I downed my wine. Sophia was the reason I came here, because I also had thoughts of fucking her tonight, but her unending argument and points, did nothing but turned me off.My eyes fell on a brunette, who stared intensely and lustfully at me. Maybe she would do it for just tonight, I winked at her– a gesture to come over. As expected, she smiled seductively, and made her way, slow and deliberate towards me.Before she could get to my table, I received a call from my father, which instantly turned off any urge for sex, I had within me. I grabbed my car key from the desk and got up to leave, my gaze turned to the brunette, who was now close, I pulled out a few cash and threw it at her, before storming off.Reaching home, the atmosphere in the room was thick and heavy.

    LUCIANO “Ahhh!” I yelled out in pain, as the doctor pulled out the bullet from my skin.I went to the third basement today, since a new shipment was moving in and was worth tons of money. I needed to make sure everything was complete, and accurate, especially since it was the first time I was buying goods from this particular organization. But before the goods were offloaded, my basement was attacked. Those motherfuckers! They chose to attack when everyone was busy. Good thing my men were always ready. I didn’t need someone to tell me Damon and Silas were behind this, but how did they find out about the new shipment? Jeff and look are my only men that are aware of it, Jeff can’t possibly betray me and that was the same case with Luke, so how come?The doctor left after cleaning my injury, I immediately summoned Jeff and the rest of my men in the basement. I assigned Luke at the mansion with other of my men to watch over Nadia. At the thought of her, my chest tightened. It’s obviou

    NADIA My heart raced wildly as I stared at the message, utterly confused. Who is this person? I thought the pregnancy result was between me and the nurse…how..how did this person find out? Was I being followed?“Jesus, Joseph and Mary, help me out.” I tossed my phone on the bed, shoved my hand into my hair, to push back a few strands, as if they could stop me from going crazy.Luciano had wanted me to tell him about every message I received. If it was before, I'd gladly report this to him, but now? I can't, I can't risk him finding out I'm with a child, his child, because I plan to abort this child. My life is a mess already, I can't bring an innocent child into it.I picked up my phone, reading the address over and over again. Truth is, I needed answers to all my questions, but the person behind the phone might be after me. The person might be an enemy of the emperor who wants me dead. I was about to return the phone to the stand, when he dinged with another message, I quickly open

    NADIAThe morning light filtered through the thin curtains, but I felt none of its warmth. My body was sluggish, way down by exhaustion, I couldn’t shake. I clutched the sink in the washroom, my stomach roiling with nausea as the bitter taste of bile lingered in my mouth.This was the fourth morning in a row I’d woken up feeling like this, and my persistence headaches and fatigue left me frustrated and confused. The doctor’s warning about my health echoed in my mind. I knew I couldn’t delay any longer, pulling on a simple coat, I slipped out of the house unnoticed, not even by any of Luciano’s men. Uncertain of where to go, but I quickly remembered seeing a pharmacy store closeby by where I went with Luciano’s men.Reaching there, a wave of unease washed over me. I took a deep breath and worked into the store. It was very large and spacious, the bright interior of the place was calm and unnervingly quiet. I approached the counter hesitantly, my eyes darting around as I was also scared

    NADIAAs if noticing my presence, Luciano and the doctor abruptly stopped talking and glanced my way. Luciano slowly shifted his gaze, turning his back against me. He was acting cold again. “Are you okay?” The doctor asked and suddenly walked up to me, I nodded firmly, my gaze still fixed on Luciano’s back. “Good you need to take care of your health, else when your health gets this bad again, you’ll have to be operated on.”I frowned, “Operated on?” he nodded. After a series of talks, the doctor left. Luciano was about to leave too when I stopped him. “You’re just going to walk away again?’He paused on his steps, but didn’t look at me. “Didn’t you hear what the doctor said? Rest well.”I chuckled, “You know that’s not what I meant,”“What did you mean then?”“What’s the point of avoiding me? What would those who are scared of you think, when they learn that you are avoiding or should i say afraid of facing a lady?”His fists clenched beside him and he slowly turned to look at me,

    NADIA“Miss, are you okay?” I turned to the guard and nodded, but his gaze was fixed at Damon, glaring daggers at him. Damon's expression remained unfazed, rather a smirk was etched on his face, as if daring Luciano's men.“Let's get going, I was about to leave before you guys came.” I said, trying to ease the tension.Luciano's men nodded and we left. All through the drive home, my unsettled mind continued to ponder, it's no new news that Luciano wouldn't know about what happened today and the mere thinking of what he might do, scares the shit out of me. At some point, I thought of talking to his men so they wouldn't disclose It to him, but I knew better than that, he was their boss and no matter what happens they will spill everything to him.If meeting Damon at the bookstore today was going make Luciano go ahead with his threat ... .no way, I can't even think about that.My heart began to race rapidly the moment the car pulled into the vast and spacious estate, taking a deep

  • My Mafia Saviour    NADIA

    NADIA It's been weeks already, with Luciano and I barely speaking to each other, I barely see him not to talk of crossing paths with him. If he was avoiding me or was just too busy at work, I have no idea. These past weeks, I've been feeling a lot of things, tired, when I actually did nothing, sleepy and extreme dizziness. My sleep wasn't as peaceful as it was before. I kept seeing myself, or rather, the little version of me, as a kid, laughing and playing around in a huge mansion. The sounds of her laughter were filled with so much happiness and contagious playfulness. Amidst her happiness, a deep voice called out her name, his voice dripping with love and genuine affection, but then, the name he called wasn't Nadia. Vesper, he called her Vesper. He was calling her to stop running, but she kept running, her laughter growing louder and echoing in all corners of the mansion.I was desperate to see his face, to know who he was, but just each time, I failed. He either seems to disappe

    NADIAThe house felt like a hollow shell without Luciano. For a month, he had left without a word, leaving me to wonder if it was because of that night. Although I still bore the scars, not on my body, but deep in my heart, and everytime i passed his closed bedroom door, the memory of his drunken rage haunted me.Yet, there was a part of me that couldn’t help but yearn for him, a part of me that couldn’t let go. Something in his eyes that night had looked broken,desperate and betrayed, and that’s what made it so hard to resent him fully.With Luciano gone, it was easier going outside, venturing beyond the walls of the mansion, although his men never ceased to follow me around wherever I went, but they gave me breathing space. On one of those outings, I met Damon, the man from the restaurant.I had just finished walking through a local bookstore, holding on to the small bag of novels, when he appeared. “Hi Nadia, we met again.” he smiled softly, waving at me.I waved back and looked aw

    AUTHORLuciano's anger was triggered by his father and brother, at his mother's memorial service.A day Ago,Luciano stood at the vast, ornate hall where his mom's memorial service was being held. His jaw was clenched so tightly that it ached. He knew that behind the facade of those gathered belied the insincerity of their whisper. Not any one of them had a single sympathy for the woman who they claimed to mourn, they only cared about their power, appearance and no one was more obvious to flaunting those than Luciano's father, Silas Moterno.Dressed proudly in a black suit, Silas held court at the center of the room, a picture of a grieving widower. His words were laced with honey, his demeanor composed, yet the sight of him filled Luciano with fury and hatred, so intense it made his vision blur. Silas, standing tall, had stolen everything from Luciano, his mother, his childhood, Damon, and every semblance of his peace.Luciano's hand clenched tightly into fists by his sides, his rag

    NADIAI was already done with the business files Jeff returned home. I'd told him to increase it a bit more which he did, working on this file for a while. I could only say that Luciano was intelligent and professional with the dealings of his company. Time flew by and it was night already. Luciano wasn't home yet, so I returned to my room. Later in the night, I woke up because I was having a nightmare. Amidst my thoughts, I heard slow, and unsteady footsteps approaching my room, before I could react, the door burst open, revealing Luciano's imposing figure.He staggered through the door, muttering under his breath. The heavy whiff of alcohol followed, consuming the air, as soon as he walked into the room.Was he drunk? I frowned and got up to help him. “Luciano, are you okay?” I asked, for some reason, feeling deeply worried.He laughed, a bitter, hollow sound. “Am I okay?” his words slurred, his voice mocking. “Why wouldn't I be?
